I used to be excited about Mallex Smith being the future everyday center fielder for the Atlanta Braves. But I’m not anymore, because Mallex Smith is not the everyday center fielder for the Atlanta Braves. Nobody is. Nobody ever will be. Mallex Smith is the “center fielder whenever the Braves aren’t facing a left hander” for the Atlanta Braves.
Mallex Smith hit two home runs last night with 4 RBI against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Pittsburgh. And tonight Mallex Smith is not in the starting lineup because Liriano is starting for Pittsburgh who’s allowed .
